Just got an update for my Chessup 2 board, but I don’t see anything on the firmware update thread, the last update shown there was in December. Anyone know what changed?

We’ll get that updated soon! It’s new ChessDotCom bots and a couple bug fixes.

Jeff, whilst I appreciate you attempting to help, it appears you didn’t read my post. There are no new updates on there, hence the post.

It looks like the date is 1/8, 2025 instead of 2026.

Was there also a FW update for Chessup 1?  
[ChessUp 1 Firmware Release Notes](https://playchessup.com/en-eu/pages/firmware-log) is not updated yet but I’m hoping that’s just an oversight. I have been waiting a loong time for this so I hope it’s there (will know whwn I’m home I suppose)

I can see that there is no new firmware for Chessup 1. I was under the impression that there were some AI improvements to the on-board difficulty levels underway. Is there any ETA on that? @Jeff

CU1 will get the Ai rollout when CU2 gets it too (which is now second in line behind our family account feature).

It is late. It is still in the works and coming.
